[Intro – Travis Scott (layered, distant)]
Yeah…
(Huh… yeah…)
Lost my brother in the dark, I been driftin’ through the stars…
(For real… it’s cold out here…)
Yeah…
[Hook – Chris Brown (soaring, emotional)]
I been tryna hold on, but the nights still break me,
Every memory of you hits my chest so heavy.
We were runnin’ through the fire like we’d never hit the ground,
Now I’m standin’ in the silence and you nowhere to be found.
Tell me why you had to go, tell me why it hurts so deep,
I keep prayin’ you can hear me when I talk in my sleep.
You my brother, you my blood, you my heart, that’s a fact,
If Heaven really answer, tell my brother send me back.

[Verse 1 – Travis Scott (pain-auto-tuned, hollow)]
Yeah, I been numb for a minute, I ain’t felt my face,
Tryna ghost all these feelings but they still give chase.
When the calls all stopped, when the room got cold,
Felt the world go silent when they told me you gone.
I been driftin’, I been slidin’ with your chain on tight,
All these demons in my vision when I’m drivin’ at night.
Wish the last time we talked, I ain’t let it go fast,
Cuz I ain’t know that lil’ moment be the one that would last.
Now the smoke don’t calm me, and the drink don’t help,
And the crew look lost, we been missin’ ourselves.
If the sky start talkin’, hope it whisper your name,
Cuz I’m prayin’ for a sign just to numb all this pain.
⸻
[Pre-Hook – Chris Brown (stacked R&B harmonies)]
I been holdin’ on my breath,
Tryna heal what’s left…
But the hurt don’t fade, it just hides in my chest.
Every sunrise feel wrong,
Every heartbeat feel gone…
And I swear I hear your laugh when I’m drivin’ alone…

[Hook – Chris Brown (bigger, choir underneath)]
I been tryna hold on, but the nights still break me,
Every memory of you hits my chest so heavy.
We were runnin’ through the fire like we’d never hit the ground,
Now I’m standin’ in the silence and you nowhere to be found.
Tell me why you had to go, tell me why it hurts so deep,
I keep prayin’ you can hear me when I talk in my sleep.
You my brother, you my blood, you my heart, that’s a fact,
If Heaven really answer, tell my brother send me back.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Chris Brown (melodic pain, R. Kelly-style layers)]
I remember every moment, every dream we chased,
How we swore we’d hit the top, never thought you’d fade.
How the world feel colder when your light turn off,
How I scream at the sky but it just burn off.
And I’m tryin’ not to lose it, but this grief so real,
Every picture like a wound that I’m forced to feel.
If the angels got you close, keep your halo bright,
Cuz I’m breakin’ down slow in the middle of the night.
And I’d trade every dollar, every song, every stage,
Just to have one more memory that we didn’t waste.
You my brother forever, til my last breath fall,
If you hear me up in Heaven, know I’m answering your call.

[Bridge – Kanye-style Gospel Build]
(Choir softly rising)
Won’t you talk to me…
Won’t you walk with me…
Brother don’t leave me stranded in this misery.
